Loon Mountain
Today I rode the gondola up Loon Mountain
From the top gondola station there was a view of one of the mountain lakes where the Loon (bird) might be found, from which the mountain takes its name.

From the observation tower at the top gondola station can be seen Loon Mountain's north peak, altitude 3,075 feet AMSL. A grassy slope, which forms the Sunset ski run in winter, offers a route to the top.
Looking down from the summit, the white building in centre is the top gondola station from which I have walked.
Utilikilt on the north summit plateau of Loon Mountain. The ski tow brings skiers up here during the snow season, but in September you need to walk up here from the gondola.
